Davy Rupsch of Bowling Green, a Henderson native, was amused recently when his 6-year-old son Donovan asked to watch cartoons on the DVD player and specifically asked for "Disk 2" of a "Looney Tunes" collection.

As Dad located the disk, Donovan asked: "Did you watch cartoons when you were a little boy?"

Dad assured Donovan that he did, but explained that he did not have a DVD player and just watched cartoons on the regular TV broadcast.

Donovan's eyes got really big, and he asked: "Did you grow up before Abraham Lincoln?"

Six-year-old Kolton Greenwell, grandson of Kathy and Curtis Mumau, had an appointment with the dentist, so his grandmother made arrangements to pick him up from Niagara Elementary School early that day.

When she arrived, Kolton asked why she had come to get him.

"Because you need to get your teeth cleaned," she explained.

Perplexed, Kolton said: "Why do we have to do that? I clean them every day."

Camp Imagination, presented by Tri-state music-telling group Tales & Scales, will take place at South Heights Elementary School June 11-15.

Campers will explore their creativity and develop their own unique music-telling performances while participating in games and activities led by Tales & Scales artists incorporating storytelling, music, theater and creative movement.

Campers will share their weeklong experiences by performing for family and friends at the end of the week.

No prior experience with the performing arts is necessary.

Camp Imagination 2012 is a full-day camp for campers ages 6-12 (entering first through sixth grades). Hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and extended care is available.
